The ability to engage in prosocial, communal behavior is vital to developing and maintaining close relationships. I am interested in the factors—both individual difference and situational—that hinder or facilitate people’s ability to engage in such behaviors. My research is grounded in personality and social psychology but also draws upon clinical and neuroscience traditions. Specifically, I conduct research in both healthy and clinical (autism, borderline personality disorder) populations, and use a multi-method approach involving experiential, behavioral, and biological levels of analysis.
